Cmwlth. 1994).*fn2 In its Remedial Order, the Court incorporated “the student, parent, teacher and principal as central participants in the educational reform effort, high academic standards and elimination of racial disparities in academic achievement as the primary missions, and rigorous curriculum framework as its core.” Id. at 188 – 189.
